“Yes, Fan Yu adopted a spider as his sister. The situation is slightly complicated. If you have time, do you mind coming over to Jiujiang’s Children’s Home?”

“Of course, is it okay if I arrive at 6 or 7 pm?”

“No problem. Thank you for your cooperation.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge thought back to the last sentence the worker said. “But what if that sister is not a human but a spider?”

Fan Yu was the Haunted House’s first special visitor and a poor child. He had witnessed how his father killed his mother and how his aunt pushed his father into the well. Then he had lived for several years under the same roof as the killer.

The boy no longer has any family left on this world. No matter what, I should go take a look.

Chen Ge initially wanted to run out to the sun to spin the wheel, but thanks to the call from the Children’s Home, his mood was lost. The lunch break soon ended. Chen Ge busied himself until 5:30 pm, but the number of visitors did not decrease. Chen Ge’s team had to delay the closing time until almost 7 pm.

The sky was darkening. Chen Ge did not even have time to do his accounts. After Xu Wan left work, he rushed toward the Children’s Home. This was the first time Chen Ge had visited Jiujiang’s Children’s Home. It was different from the dirty, cold, and unfeeling orphanages that he had seen on television. The decor of Jiujiang’s Children’s Home was very friendly, and it had its own courtyard that was filled with various flowers.

“Hey, what are you doing here? We do not allow outsiders!” The gentleman who guarded the door blocked Chen Ge.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Chen Ge, Fan Yu’s family. This afternoon, a member of staff here called me.”

“Fan Yu’s family‽” The old gentleman studied Chen Ge, and his attitude changed instantly. “Please wait here for a moment. I’ll go ask. Be back in a minute.”

The gentleman did not use his phone but ran into the courtyard to yell up the stairs. Not long after that, a woman who looked about Chen Ge’s age came out from the building. She was wearing a nurse’s outfit, and she gave off a friendly feeling.

“Mr. Chen, you’re finally here.” The nurse signaled for Chen Ge to follow her. “Let me introduce myself first. I’m Fan Yu’s mother; you can call me Xiao Liu.”

“You’re his mother?”

“Yes, we have adopted many abandoned children and babies here. To make them feel the warmth of home, we normally allow them to call us mother and father. Of course, it’s not forced, but most of the children here like it.” The nurse was a friendly character, but she was shy. She did not even dare look at Chen Ge’s eyes when she was talking to him.

“That’s wonderful. I admire that.”

Jiujiang’s Children’s Home was like a big family. It was completely different from what Chen Ge thought an orphanage would be like. The nurse flashed a sunny smile. She was about to say something when the window on the other side of the courtyard flew open, and a middle-aged man who held a tray of tea cups in his hands yelled at the nurse, “Xiao Liu, you’re running off again? Get back to your post! Keep an eye on Jiang Ling and Fan Yu! They’re getting worse!”

The man’s voice sounded angry, but Xiao Liu was not afraid. Instead, she was embarrassed. “Yes, I understand.”
